with that many nukes going off, they ignite the air around you causing a hellish firestorm that burns up all available oxygen.

Thinking back to a conversation about military strategy I saw. One guy involved was convinced he knew more about the subject than every existing authority and his fantastic analysis included the exact phrase "nukes are overrated and easily survivable."
It won't. Not to say that nuking the planet won't end the vast majority of life, but you can't ignite the atmosphere. There is no other substance in the air the oxygen can react with, the nitrogen is inert and to create the conditions for nuclear fusion, you need so much power in the first place, that it doesn't make a difference in the end. Even if you manage to locally create the condition for fusion (as in a hydrogenbomb), the energy will just dissipate and scatter too fast to sustain a chainreaction. Earth is just too big and too cold for that.

If I were in a nuclear war, I would just survive. I am pretty sure I am tough enough to just get over radiation sickness.
I would simply hide under my desk where the nukes can't get me :very-smart:
RIP to your toddler but I'm different!
